I know in another thread everyone was saying infected mushroom would close sahara but didnt everyone say that about amon tobins rig last year? he closed mojave is there a chance infected mushroom will too?

The highest billed Sahara act doesn't always go against the headliner. Last year, Guetta went against Bon Iver, and it was Kaskade that closed it against Radiohead. Avicii went against Dre Week 1, but they bumped him down for Week 2. And then on Friday, the highest billed EDM act closed the mainstage. Based on that, I would say it is more likely that Pretty Lights will go up against Nick Cave. Anyway, Pretty Lights will have more fan overlap with RHCP than Eric Prydz.

Re: 2013 - Saturday Set Time Predictions

I would consider moving Reignwolf to later. He’s starting to get some decent buzz and could be this year’s Gary Clark Jr., i.e., someone poised to breakout that is killer live. Maybe put him where Theophilus is and bump the other acts one spot earlier? Reignwolf in a super-hot, (hopefully) packed late afternoon tent just seems right.

Is Cafe Tacvba really going to be on the Outdoor stage? Couldn’t they switch with SMD, with SMD kind of being this year’s Chromeo? While having SMD and Hot Chip on the O.T. back to back would be a bit unusual, it would make for a pretty fantastic dance party. Maybe SMD could go where Grizzly Bear is, Grizzly Bear where Cafe Tacvba is, and Cafe Tacvba where SMD is?

With how stacked this day is, I’m amazed that this current schedule doesn’t have any crushing conflicts for me. If I can catch all or most of Bat for Lashes, Postal Service, Sigur Ros, and Hawtin, I’ll be stoked. I’d just have to settle for a few minutes of Puscifer on my from Sigur Ros to Hawtin. I’ll take it!

Re: 2013 - Saturday Set Time Predictions

Last year when they had all those long break between sahara acts wasn't it because they all brought stupid lighting rigs with them? Are any of the guys using cdjs this year even gonna need a break between sets cant they just switch off?

Re: 2013 - Saturday Set Time Predictions

Love the changes. SMD looks way more suitable in that late Mojave slot.

As far as 2 Chainz is concerned, I think the argument for him on the main is the amount of radio play he's been getting is similar to Kendrick Lamar and Childish Gambino, both who played early Main Stage slots last year.

Re: 2013 - Saturday Set Time Predictions

Do you think Sigur will play HALF their set against Phoenix? Of all the bands on the lineup - when Sigur Ros plays is the most difficult for me to predict. I think ultimately they will close outdoor as predicted but feel there is room for the unexpected with Sigur Ros placement.

Name one rapper with a large radio hit that hasn't headlined or played main in the daytime. This is one of the most predictable things about set times since at least 2009 with Lupe, 2010 with Wale/B.o.B., 2011 with Wiz Khalifa, 2012 with Kendrick and Childish Gambino (both of whom were not played anywhere near 2 Chainz). I agree that nighttime in a tent would be optimal, but look at the trend.

The only rappers at night in tents last year were underground and/or irrelevant. A$AP Rocky (who at the time had yet to have a single song played on radio, now is a different story), Company Flow, Airplane Boys, etc. The ones on the radio play main in the day.

Also, that The Evens, Grizzly Bear & Bat for Lashes conflict is dildoes.

Why would a band that is fifth line on the poster be headliners of the Mojave. I think Spiritualized or Bat For Lashes should be there.

Gobi I can see but the Mojave? There are three bands higher on the poster playing before them. If you switched the Booka Shade to headline the Gobi and put Puscifer headlining the Mojave then it would make more sense to me. I think you will find the Descendents or Yeasayer headlining the Mojave just based on higher placement on the poster. I have nothing against Booka Shade. It just doesn't make sense to me.

Re: 2013 - Saturday Set Time Predictions

I find it really hard to believe that The XX will be on the main. There's just not enough going on there. Throw those cunts on the Outdoor. Sigur Ros on main at 8, Hot Chip on Outdoor at 8:45, Postal Service on Main at 9:30, XX on Outdoor at 10:15, Phoenix on Main at 11:10 til close. New Order on Outdoor at 11:30.

Re: 2013 - Saturday Set Time Predictions

I'm a fucking genius at this shit, they should give me a job. But really, I'd be surprised if they didn't put New Order opposite Phoenix just because if you put them any earlier it gets insulting or whatever and Phoenix is some kiddy shit whereas no one under the age of 30 gives a shit about New Order.

I really like this.

And then there's this. They are stupidly popular and have second billing, so that alone should guarantee a main slot, even though their sound and setup in no way call for it. Is a milquetoast subheadliner on Saturday nights going to be a thing, now? The National in 2014?
